19 After that, Yeshua entered Yeriho (Jericho) and continued walking through it.2 Then, look, there was a man named Zacchaeus and he was a chief tax-collector and pretty wealthy.3 He wanted to see who this Yeshua was, but couldn’t see over the crowd because he[fn] was rather short,4 so he ran along ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see Yeshua as he walked past.5 However, as Yeshua came to that place, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry up and get down because I think it would be good to stay at your place.”6 So he hurried down the tree and happily welcomed him.

7 But everyone who had observed it was grumbling, “Hoy, he’s going to stay with a sinful man.”

8 At dinner, Zacchaeus stood and said to the master, “Listen, master, I’m giving half of everything I own to the poor, and anyone that I defrauded, I’ll pay them back four times over.”

9 “Salvation came to this home today,” responded Yeshua, “as this man has also shown that he’s Abraham’s offspring,10 because humanity’s child came to look for those who are lost, and save them.”[ref]
